MVMA Awards: 2013 Call
for Entries

Deadline: May 1, 2013

The Maryland
Veterinary Medical Association, through the Public
Relations Committee, is looking for candidates for the
following awards:

Distinguished Veterinarian Award

This award will be given to
a veterinarian who has tirelessly served the veterinary
profession. The recipient will have actively worked
within our profession as well as served the veterinary
community at the local, state or national level.
Veterinarians from all fields will be considered
equally. This award is open to private practitioners, as
well as industrial, academic or governmental
veterinarians.

Award Criteria

The
nominee must be a graduate of a recognized veterinary college.

The
nominee must have been an MVMA member for the last five
consecutive years.

The
nominee will be a member of our profession who has demonstrated
consistent effort on behalf of our fellow veterinarians to
enhance and strengthen their professional environment at the
local, state or national level of organized veterinary medicine.

The
Good Doctor Award

This award is designed to
honor a veterinarian who has demonstrated the kind of
compassion and kindness toward clients, patients and the
community reflected in the term, “The Good Doctor.”

Individuals nominated should
be cited for an act or series of acts which demonstrate
such compassion and kindness. Many veterinarians do
outstanding things in their service to patients, clients
and the community that often go unrecognized. We hear
stories about veterinarians who have worked with
missions in foreign countries to help in self
development programs for agriculture and livestock; of
veterinarians who regularly devote time to the teaching
of children or to the psychological and emotional care
of adults; of veterinarians who have made a contribution
to knowledge about a particular disease or a treatment
modality. Any MVMA member, whether practitioner,
researcher, teacher, regulatory, is eligible to be
considered.

Award Criteria

The
nominee must be a graduate of a recognized veterinary college.

The
nominee must have been a MVMA member for the last five
consecutive years.
